You waited too long, and now we’re sold out. You must be devastated. At least you
can hold on to the hope that tomorrow we’ll have another awesome luxury deal on
the table. Now wipe your tears and go buy yourself a cookie. You’ll feel better
tomorrow.

The Hublot watch featuring a gold case and natural rubber strap was created in 1980. For the first time in the history of matchmaking, a precious material like gold was combined with rubber. It all started when a scion of the Italian Binda Group dynasty, best known for making Breil watches, Carlo Crocco left the company in 1976 to strike out on his own and create a new watch company. Moving to Switzerland he formed MDM Geneve and set about designing a watch that he named the Hublot after the French word for "porthole".
